| Reverse description | Tyche standing right, holding a small temple (omphalos or naiskos) in each hand, referencing the city's double neocorate status; before her, Athena is seated left, holding Nike in her extended right hand, with a shield resting at her right side. The composition emphasizes Nicomedia's civic pride and its twice-granted honor of imperial cult worship. The reverse legend is distributed around the field in Greek characters. |
